oh and I want to also congratulate you on your coral growth. Its absolutely incredible. Maybe you should get into propagation with results like that. Your rock work will be a inspiration for my next tank.
. Thought you might enjoy.
Sanjay,
I really enjoyed your talk about this tank's design and setup at DFWMAS's Next Wave 2008 yesterday. You really gave us some great insight on tank design, system planning and implementation. This thread is now on my subscribed list. As mentioned to you yesterday, I am so jealous of your setup and am now planning ways to streamline my setup and plan for the eventual component/system failures. Thank you so much for coming to our event and always know that you have a bunch of friends and admirers in Dallas/Fort Worth!

The tank is looking great Sanjay. It looks like you have really hit the 'sweet spot' as far as coral growth is concerned.
You need a 'Man Fish' though...
with the exception of that one larger tang, I have a yellow, purple, and pac blue in my 125g. A school of anthias does not qualify as 'Man Fish' either. You need a dussumieri, sohal, bariene, or blochii tang... or a regal angelfish or any naso besides a 'lipstick'... (it wears lipstick after all). If I had a 500g, I would have a 'Man Fish'... :lol:
Have you thought about any larger fish?

As per your definition, I do have a Man Fish. A blochii tang that has been there since Jan 2007. Got it as a Dussimeri, but turned out to be Blochii. Hard to miss it in the full tank shots.
Personally I am a fan of lots of small fish, rather than large fish.

Oh, so that is a blochii... I take it all back. That thing is a tank buster.
I just like to joke about it since some in my local club seem to want to go larger... much larger, but not so much because of the corals. They want 12' long tanks because they want to be able to keep some of the larger fish in their reefs like unicorn tangs. One guy has a pink tail trigger that wolf's down a whole sheet of nori out of his fingers every day. That sort of 'hands on' large fish sort of stuff seems to be what these guys are after.
